I see and approve better things, but follow worse.
Take away leisure and Cupid's bow is broken
What is now reason was formerly impulse or instinct.
The act is judged of by the event.
Minds that are ill at ease are agitated by both hope and fear.
Let me tell you I am better acquainted with you for a long absence, as men are with themselves for a long affliction: absence does but hold off a friend, to make one see him the truer.
